thanks but if someone got a differnt pc im up to hear about it

 

[wafflehammer]

I say get the xigmatek rifle over the zalman cooler...cost less, and does almost the same work

and get the 780i FTW board if you want 708i

 

[Ric0h]

only thing I would change is from air to water cooling, in my opinion its not worth it unless you want to show off, but since you have a huge budget, you might as well get it.

 

[bkolk]

you don't get watercooling just because u can afford it. You have to want it so your willing to monitor it and do maintenance.

 

[nathan harris]

will these play most of the new games out

i was think this as a prosseor Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Retail $189.99 but im not sure

 

[veg1992]

Yes it will

Don't get Water Cooling unless you really good with this stuff and know your way around a PC really really well (if you're new, get a lot more experience before adopting a Water Cooling Kit)

Don't get an e8400, its not worth it, games are getting more Quad-Intensive and you'd be better with a Quad.

Change the Cooler to a Xigmatek Rifle, the RAM to this:
Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

and the video card to an HD 4870

 

[nathan harris]

Please don't double post, as there is an edit feature that lasts 24hours

Ditch the Antec 1200 for a NZXT Tempest

Stick with the Q9450, or get the Q6600 if you're going to overclock

or you can wait for the HD 4870X2 and get a Asus P5E Deluxe

Get the Xigmatek Rifle as I said in my post before, with the RAM I told before
